What is Grintale's capture rate?

Grintale has a base capture rate of 31 out of 100 in Palworld 1.0. Weakening it below 30% HP and attacking from behind with a matching-tier Pal Sphere substantially improves the odds.

What element is Grintale weak to?

Grintale is a Dark-type Pal. That means it takes extra damage from Dragon and resists Neutral. Bring a partner of that counter-element for the fastest weaken.

Grintale is tagged for Farming, Medicine Production. On the Pal Stars base tier list it rates 7/10 — a solid mid-tier worker.

Is Grintale a good mount?

Grintale's ride speed is 1252, earning it a 9/10 mount rating on Pal Stars. It's among the fastest rideable Pals in Palworld 1.0.

What are Grintale's best passive skills?

For PvE damage, stack Musclehead + Ferocious + Lucky on Grintale. For a base role, swap in Workaholic + Serious + Artisan. Reroll unwanted traits with the Trait Extractor at the Ancient Tech bench.

How do you breed Grintale?

Grintale's breed power seat determines its parent pairings. Cross two parents whose combined breed power averages closest to Grintale's, put them at a Breeding Farm with a Grade S Cake, and incubate the egg for the best hatch rate. The Pal Stars breeding calculator lists every valid pairing.
